[For a mercy, her focus is more on the process of keeping the horseshoe set. Considering what she knew of trolls...]
You are short, for a troll.
[She knew of them well, and may have encountered one or two at a distance. Hiding near bridges were the least of human's worries when trolls were involved. Fearless and brutish, depending on where one lived the easiest thing to do was move the entire town and hope that the trolls did not notice.]
[But she can't cast judgement too quickly. After all, blacksmithing -- or any craft at all -- was a skill that would ordinarily be far beyond a troll's abilities. They were more inclined to make clubs out of wood or bones than to take the effort of making and setting a horseshoe.]
One of the things that I know of trolls is that they have amazing healing abilities. I am a bit surprised that your arm is still lame. But, also, that trolls only fear fire.
